A partire da Cristo, Redentore dell’uomo. Sant’Agostino e il Beato Giovanni Paolo II - alcuni punti di riferimento
Abstract
In Jesus Christ, the human person fi nds greatness, dignity and worth of humanity. This article re fl ects on the doctrine of the great African bishop, St. Augustine of Hippo and Pope John Paul II. It discusses the truth about Jesus Christ, the Redeemer of humankind. The concept of redemption as represented by the bishop of Hippo is in essence sacerdotal and sacri fi cial as it is ultimately expressed by the sacri fi ce of the Cross. The Cross of Jesus Christ manifests the great and merciful willingness of God towards the fallen human person who is the slave of sin. The triple victory of Christ: over sin, death and Satan, restores the human person to life in the communion with God.
